Delusional Disorder
Delusional disorder is a type of serious mental illness in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined.
Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness — called a “psychosis”— in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue.
An example of delusional disorder is thinking that your team is playing world class football when the reality is the opposite. Celtic fans in particular are prone to this type of thinking.
What causes delusional disorder?
As with many other psychotic disorders, the exact cause of delusional disorder is not yet known. Researchers are, however, looking at the role of various genetic, biological, and environmental or psychological factors.
In studies done on separate entity fc fans, it was concluded that all of these factors, plus believing media articles, contributed to a worsening of the condition. In one study group, researchers had to halt the study as one participant couldn't come out of his psychosis. He was screaming seevvvcoo! over and over again, whilst rocking back and forth in his armchair. Another participant would harass any football talk shows, while another would comment on every single Rangers article. These are just examples of how delusional disorder can grip separate entity fc fans.
What are the symptoms of delusional disorder?
The presence of non-bizarre delusions is the most obvious symptom of this disorder. Other symptoms that might appear include:
- An irritable, angry, or low mood
- Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not really there) that are related to the delusion (For example, a person who believes he or she has an odor problem may smell a bad odor.)
- In one study, it was found that match officials scored highly on the hallucinatory stage, imagining fouls against separate entity fc, and giving free kicks for invisible fouls.
How is delusional disorder treated?
There is no known cure for delusional disorder. The studies do suggest that turning off superscoreboard and avoiding sycophantic media articles may help individuals who have this disorder.
